I think this is a swell example of cultural bias. Depictions of other religions' violent imagery: *gasps* *horror*. Depictions of our (Western) religion's violent imagery: excellent, devout. In fairness, most Protestant religions don't use crucifixes, just crosses, though the imagery is still a reference to the same violence and torture. I agree with FNM's post, its supposed to remind people that we should feel guilty, because Jesus suffered and died for our sins. If only we were better, more perfect beings...
